Before …
After …
This master bedroom was bright but dull. It was brought to life with wallpaper, paint, lighting, drapes, linens and accessories.
Guest room completed!

It’s finished, it’s finished, it’s finished!!
Now, that the nice weather is nice, it’s been hard to spend time doing my indoor decorating projects. So, I was a little delayed but it’s all done now.
To refresh your memory, here’s what it looked like in March….
First up, I painted and stencilled the room. (Click here to read the blog post on the painting.)
Then hubby and I designed and made an upholstered headboard.
I also made a tailored bed skirt with the same fabric, and a bunch of pillows.
And….drum roll please……here’s the final result.
It’s even “Pixie approved”! The blinds were already in the room and the lace sheers and curtain rod are from Ikea. I also had the wicker chair but did pick up a new green cushion from Home Sense.
I bought this little lamp from Ikea and then I covered the white shade with blue and green ribbon purchased at Michaels. It looks good from a distance……but I definitely need more practice on this technique.
Here’s a close up of the pillows that I made. The paisley fabric was used for the large shams, the stripe for the medium pillow and the small pillow was made with a remnant that I already had.

And I have to put a close up of Pixie for my own “Pets on the Furniture” picture in here as she wouldn’t leave so I could take the pictures.
